Springs are common features on the Yucatán coast. They can discharge either under sea (submarine) or inland in coastal lagoons and wetlands. Previous observations of a lagoon located northern Peninsula (La Carbonera) reported water intrusion spring that (lagoon tidal spring). The saltwater occurs when tide is at its lower level, which opposite to what has been for submarine springs Peninsula. In this study, hydrodynamics analyzed driving forces controlling seawater identified discussed. Time...
Sand spits are common in wave-dominated environments; with enough sand supply, they can evolve to affect circulation and navigation channels or inlets. The focus of this paper is on the channel Sisal Port, located northwestern Yucatan Peninsula (YP) coast, where a spit grew was monitored from its formation (June 2018) until practically blocked (November 2018). YP coast characterized as being microtidal, significant wave heights ranging 0.1 0.4 m (April September), presence high energy events...
